SSS – Unemployment

Multiple Claims Rule

The Multiple Claims Rule states that the SSS unemployment benefit can only be claimed once every three years. Even if a member loses their job again within this period, they cannot file a second claim until the three-year restriction has passed.

This rule ensures fairness and maintains fund sustainability.
